Re-branding can happen due to a number of reasons: 1.
Bad positioning the first time around.
2.
Transition of desired target market 3.
By noticing a considerable increase in revenue if rebranding is undertaken Trends that hint at re-inventing/re-branding are: 1.
Consistent loss in market share due to better positioning of competitors 2.
Shift in buying habits 3.
Product modifications that need to be highlighted

Either people are sick of the product so you just put a little spices on it, or you can a cook a whole new different looking meal to win time with your product, or when people accepted the product after hesitating and fear of fail from the brander so re-branding is the level where to let the people eat the whole meal with no hesitation. 

 

Re-branding because of fail, quality or loss is harmful for the brander and shameful in the consumers eye , people hate to underestimate their smartness

Re-branding 

 

On average, organisations and brands change their corporate identities once every seven to ten years. This often involves restyling logos, colour palettes, visual language and the photographic style. In a small number of cases, the name of the organisation is also changed during this process. Although there is usually one main reason for making the change, the motivation behind a rebranding project is often a combination of several factors.

 

Ten most common reasons for a rebranding.

 

1. Mergers, acquisitions and demergers

 

2. Repositioning

 

3. Internationalisation

 

4. Changing markets

 

5. Bad reputation

 

6. Conflict with stakeholders

 

7. New CEO

 

8. Outdated image

 

9. Changing brand portfolio

 

10. Further development of corporate identity

There is never a good time for rebranding. 

 

You rebrand for2 legitimate reasons only. 

1 the job was not properly done in the first place. This occurs when you don't allow sufficient time and budget for research, testing and implementation. 

2 the vision was too short Or not clear enough. Then a shift happened and you had to realign your brand. 

 

Consistency is the cement of all brand. When you rebrand you only scream your unconsistency.
